Kiedjor

High acceleration, low deceleration?

Looks great! Actually moving ships ! Dream come true... only thing I think I noticed is that we don't see you ship firing.. + it goes through other ships...! Interesting!

Good luck with that

Ya, the kamikaze ability that the scouts get for advent I changed it so they wont die when they try to ram the target. Using the same stats as the fighter's speed I put that into the info file. Also make sure the line in kamikaze ability that says being able to pass through targets make sure thats true. Also, combine with the kodiak sprint ability it will speed up while in fight.Hope this helps.

The model is the vasari fighter model I replace the frigate model with this one. Not the other way around.

Thanks man! I'll return favor give you +1 karma

Wow man that would be great!

HOLY SHIT!

I bow to you!

Ty manshooter! I cant wait for your mod it kicks ass! I love the addon aswell!

I thought about changing the deceleration rates to make the battles "moving" but had no idea how!  Does the AI do alright with it? I imagined telling ships to go somehwere and they would constantly travel in circles trying to get there and never stopping. 

How bad do they bump into each other? Is it constant? Is it aesthetic only or does it change gameplay significantly?

EDIT

Blair mensioned that everyone wants moving frigates. What about capital ships? Would they still function with a low deceleration?

With 1.1 (1.096 as of now) are ships able to fire while moving?

i just thought about something cause Kiedjor way seem defiant and smaller ship like

but SteelFin way seem more likely for larger ships

a mix betwen both would look awsome

i'm just trhowing an idea i have no idea on how the ai work in sins is it possible to change the way the A.I behave or write a new one or we are stuck with those we have?

if we could get the A.I. to have a "battle speed" insead of the classic get in range stop and fire?

for the ships smacking into each other my idea may seem stupid but it simplicity make it the closer to reality cause a ship will inevitably smack into an other in a battle so if there is a way to make collision deal dmg to ships then just let them take dmg until they die

It's been requested for Entrenchment that we allow frigates to optionally use fighter physics and attack pattern logic. I'll be looking into seeing how feasible it is and do my best to hook it up. Hopefully before beta 1.

The ships stuttering has only started for me post 1.05 and I haven't yet figured out why or how to fix it. I am using the same acceleration values as I did with 1.05.

Ideally I wanted to create a ship ability like the scout explore that allows one to go into evasive manuver mode which would essentially set the acceleration/deceleration settings so they move in battle. The AI would then turn it on automatically only in battle too rather then how I have it now where its always on. I can't do it that way though because changing deceleration is not possible through an ability as far as I can tell. Only some of the acceleration parameters like linear speed can be changed.

I'd like to know if the dev's have looked into moving ships yet. Mr. Fraser said he'd look into it, I'd love to know what progress has been made. I am trying to make a pds style mod and that requires lots of things soase doesn't support yet without masive juryrigging:

1. targetable ship sections on capitals

2. Ships that can spawn other ships

3. Tracking turrets

4. of course ship motion during combat, any naval commander will tell you "a stationary ship is a dead ship."
